The Challenge is On – Banbury Invites All to Step Up

The Katharine House Accumulator Challenge, a celebrated local initiative in Banbury, has opened its gates for yet another year of competition and camaraderie. Local community groups, schools, and businesses are now presented with an opportunity to face-off in a friendly challenge while contributing to a noble cause.

A Stroll Down Memory Lane – The Accumulator Challenge Legacy

Since its inception in 2014, organised originally by Karcher, the Accumulator Challenge has proven to be a roaring success. It has managed to pool an impressive sum of over £93,000 for Katharine House, contributing significantly to their noble mission.

Setting Sights Higher – The 2023 Challenge

This year, the Accumulator Challenge is striving for greater heights. With sponsorship by the Banbury Chamber of Commerce, and stewardship by the tireless fundraising team at Katharine House Hospice, expectations are that this year’s event will outdo its predecessors.

How It Works – The Spirit of Entrepreneurship

With a starting kitty of £50 provided on October 16, each participating team is challenged to raise as much money as possible within a four-month timeframe. The true spirit of entrepreneurship is tested as teams resort to innovative and exciting ways to augment their initial amount.

Graf UK – A Testament to Creativity

Take for example Graf UK, who in 2019/2020 managed to raise nearly £7,500, leveraging some rather ingenious techniques. Their journey began with a staff pub quiz and a German Christmas Market hosted at their Banbury office, leading to the launch of The Great Graf Expedition. This grand tour involved two of their employees traversing all GRAF locations across Europe in a vintage 1994 VW Golf, all the while raising money for the cause.

The Accumulator Challenge – Beyond Fundraising

Callum Vance-Poole, a proud member of the Graf UK team, vouched for the challenge’s transformative effects. He shared how it encourages participants to think creatively about fundraising, and how it has the potential to unify teams and businesses while supporting a local charity. This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the ethos of the Accumulator Challenge – a platform for growth, unity, and altruism.

The organisers of the Accumulator Challenge have set a cap of 20 teams this year. If you are part of a business, school, or community group in Banbury and wish to experience the thrill and fulfilment of the Challenge, sign up now!

Katharine House Hospice – A Pillar of Strength

Founded in 1991, Katharine House Hospice has been a pillar of support for people and families grappling with incurable illnesses. Last year alone, they cared for around 800 people in the local community, extending their services across a population of 176,000 in north Oxfordshire and south Northamptonshire.

The Comprehensive Care Model

Katharine House offers a comprehensive care model that ensures people receive support at all stages. This includes care at the hospice, in their own homes, in care homes, and in partnership with Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at the Horton hospital.

The Role of The Accumulator Challenge

The funds raised through the Accumulator Challenge go a long way in supporting Katharine House Hospice’s remarkable efforts. Every pound, every bit of support, empowers them to extend their services further, and make a profound difference in people’s lives.
